History
Until 1900, the dead of the Jewish community of Grötzingen were buried at Obergrombach Jewish Cemetery northeast of Karlsruhe.[1][2] The Jewish cemetery of Grötzingen was built in 1905–6 on Junghälden field[1] on Werrabronner Straße. It is now surrounded by modern buildings.[1]
The cemetery stretches on a 0.18 acres area and has 13 graves,[1] the oldest datable one being from 1905.[2]
The ground of the cemetery is fully covered with screed.
gollark: It can do a lot of cool things via ??? linear algebra ??? quantum logic gates, but it doesn't do something silly like "compute all possibilities at once in parallel universes".
gollark: It isn't even that *in theory*.
gollark: Quantum computing is not actually a magic "speed up all computations" box.
gollark: Using relatively general-purpose hardware is quite useful right now since the details of how to do things aren't that pinned down yet and being able to experiment is valuable.
gollark: In that they can frequently do the sort of thing a human could do in one shot without needing to do much conscious thought or use working memory, but fall down horribly on lots of multi-step things or particularly thinky stuff.
